'Lone in the Arctic Zone
lived a tribe called Neverkoff
Neverkoff, Neverkoff, Neverkoff,
koff, koff, koff, koff,
They danced a funny way,
and they called it Freeze'emoff,
Freeze'emoff, Freeze'emoff,
Freeze'emoff,
off, off, off, off.
Cold was their chieftain bold,
and they called him Cool'emoff,
Cool'emoff, Cool'emoff,
Cool'emoff,
off, off, off, off.
And, when he led the band,
Big Chief, would make 'em puff,
make 'em puff,
'till they said:
"That's enuff,"
He'd cool'emoff, off!

These "Neverkoffs" could sure deliver
and quiver
the seals would watch them from the river,
and shiver,
They'd all a dancing go
Far from their huts of snow.
Tho' the winds would blow,
they'd neverkoff, koff, koff, koff,
They'd do the "Zero Trot"
that pleased 'em an' freezed 'em.
To keep their girlies warm
they squeeze 'em and tease 'em.
But if their bear skins got too hot,
Chief was "Johnny on the spot"
To cool'emoff, cool'emoff
Big Chief cool'emoff,
off, off, off, off.

This chief was sure a dancing wizard
some hero
he danced in BVD's one blizzard,
at zero;
You should have seen the sights,
Beneath the Northern Light,
dressed in bear skins tights
they'd tear it off, off, off, off.
He named his fav'rite wife
Queen Minnie, the stepper,
Oh how that gal could shake the shimmy
with pepper.
And if the girlies danced real nice,
chief would yank 'em off the ice,
and cool'emoff, cool'emoff
Big Chief cool'emoff.

Bad to the wives he had
and he liked to treat'emruff
treat'emruff, treat'emruff,
treat'emruff,
ruff, ruff, ruff, ruff,
They knew they should obey,
for they say that Hewastuff
Hewastuff, Hewastuff,
Hewastuff,
tuff, tuff, tuff, tuff,
Though he was cold as snow,
that old crow could do his stuff,
do his stuff, do his stuff, do his stuff,
stuff, stuff, stuff, stuff.
But that old foxy mutt
knew that he was a bluff, was a bluff,
not so tuff, just a bluff,
Big Chief Ruff Stuff.

These "Neverkoffs" could sure deliver
and quiver
the seals would watch them from the river,
and shiver,
They'd all a dancing go
Far from their huts of snow.
Tho' the winds would blow,
they'd neverkoff, koff, koff, koff,
They'd do the "Zero Trot"
that pleased 'em an' freezed 'em.
To keep their girlies warm
they squeeze 'em and tease 'em.
But if their bear skins got too hot,
Chief was "Johnny on the spot"
To cool'emoff, cool'emoff
Big Chief cool'emoff,
off, off, off, off.

This chief was sure a dancing wizard
some hero
he danced in BVD's one blizzard,
at zero;
You should have seen the sights,
Beneath the Northern Light,
dressed in bear skins tights
they'd tear it off, off, off, off.
He named his fav'rite wife
Queen Minnie, the stepper,
Oh how that gal could shake the shimmy
with pepper.
And if the girlies danced real nice,
chief would yank 'em off the ice,
and cool'emoff, cool'emoff
Big Chief cool'emoff.
